Rheinland -- otherwise known as the Federal Empire of Rheinland -- is one of the five recognised Houses of Sirius, alongside Bretonia, Gallia, Kusari, and Liberty. The Sleeper Ship Rheinland was sponsored by Germany and was the second to arrive in Sirius, settling on Planet New Berlin in 3 AS. Rheinland colonised the systems in the south of the Sirius Sector where there was the highest concentration of resource rich systems to fuel a strong industrial economy.

Government
As a result of the Holstein Accords that ended the Rheinland Civil War, Rheinland is a Federal Empire. This means there is a decentralised division of power between the Imperial state and local system governments.
The head of state is the Emperor of Rheinland, who is elected for life during the Imperial Convention by Rheinland's Elector-Princes. These Princes are the most senior representatives of the system governments, with each Prince appointed by their system's own locally designed process.
The Emperor is responsible for ratifying or vetoing laws, appointing senior civil servants, convening and dismissing the Reichstag, ratifying the Reichstag's choice of Chancellor, awarding titles and honors, and representing the Empire in foreign diplomacy and agreements.
